The blessings for Torah reading and the Haftorah

Hi,

The person who recites the blessings for the Haftorah (as well as all of the Aliyot) should make sure to recite the blessings aloud, such that everyone will be able to hear and respond 'Amen.' When the congregation replies 'Amen' it is as though they had recited the blessings themselves.

(Code of Jewish Law Orach Chaim 284:3; Mishneh Berurah 284:6)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
